Dear Sir:-You are little off on the

with the proylsi ns of "an Act to pro.
vide for the destruction of certain nox-
ious animals" Assembly bill No. 5, IN
troduced 10y MIR. Hanks, January 4,
1887, we quote from the bill itself:
SECTION 4. II it shall upp ar 10 the

The said Justice of the Peace shall re-
GIVE for each oath administered twenty
five cents, ind for ench certificate TWEEN

Letting tn. County Printing.

There's the very dickens to pay down
in Chas. Mix county among the news
papers and the county commissioners.
The board gave the printing to the
Bloomington Courtos' at full legal rates
despite the fact that the Cas:alia Repu6-
hccn offered to do the work gratis and
the Darlington NeH5 also had lower bid
in. That's mighty poor way Of doing
business. The Brule county board did
the square thing by all the papers in the
county this year, and gave the work to
the lowest bidder, the contract calling
for copy of the proceedings of the
board to be furnished every voter in the
county. That's the way every county
board should do business. The GRAPHIC
thinks it very much out of place for a
board to let politics or personal likes or
dslikes cut any figure in its decisions
or deliberations. AS servants of the peo-
pie, irrespective of race or political aAil-
liationR, it should administer the affairs
of the county with the lowest possible
expense to the tax payers consistent
with good government. In SO far as the
publication Of the proceedings is con
cerncd, the board should endeavor to get
the repor. into as many voters hands as
practical and at the least possible ex.
pense. II any newspaper wants to pint
the proceedings and take its pay in glory,
| for heavens sake let it publish them
Tie tax payers will never kick; they are
the ones who foot the bills in this great
and glorious country, and by the great
horn spoon, the ones the county boards
want to tie to.

subscriber about TO leave the county
permanently and who is unable to meet
his Indebtedness to the paper will call

The Cold Month.

IIblu tbc WY OONftihl.
January (from Janus, the god who
looked in opposite directions with his
two faces) was added to the year by
Numa. 1t originally had twenty nine
days and two more were added by Julius
Caesar, 1t corresponded in the Greek
calendar to the latter half OF Poseideow
and the first half of Gamclion; wa. known
by the Scandinavians as the month Thor
and in the French revolutionary calenda-
it formed part of NlTose and Pluviose.
Though the 1st day of January was
adopted by the Romans as the frs. day
of the year in 25l, B. c., it was not un-
til 1151 that it became universally adopt
ed as such; in that year the English par
liment passed an act to that effect.
